The problem in the Niger Delta is one that should nag at anyone with a conscience.
Amnesty by the government is a cover for the inability to understand the problem or just plain ignorance of the “elected” officials.
I think it is a big mistake for the government to criminalize the basic human rights request of a group of people.
The question is this: when the violence spreads past the Niger Delta, what will the elected officials do?. From all indications, that is where this Niger Delta problem is heading. Amnesty or No Amnesty.

Legally speaking by any group accepting or signing the amnesty, they have effectively agreed that they have committed criminal acts. They can then be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law in the future.
This is Nigeria that we are talking about here. We need to have the legal minds in the country review this “Amnesty Document” and advice people accordingly.
I am sure that MASSOB is not part of this being that it is a NON VIOLENT organization but the likes of MEND (true MEND) and Asari Dokubo should consult their attorney accordingly.
A word is enough for the wise.
